10 Policies All Companies Should Have

When your business expands quickly, it can be hard to stay on top of policy creation and management.

Increase Employee Engagement by Involving Them in Policy Management

Businesses today know that attracting and retaining top talent are essential to a business’s livelihood — which is why employee engagement has become increasingly important.

Building employee engagement (and retention) starts from their first day at the office, when you introduce them to your company’s culture through sharing the company’s policies and procedures. A company’s policies give employees an immediate sense of what the company stands for — its values, business ethics and personality. In turn, sound policies reassure employees, giving them the confidence and security to work to their full potential… READ MORE

What Does a Learning Environment Look Like Within Your Company?

One of the best ways to improve employee retention is to not just train them initially, but constantly develop them by creating a work environment that fosters communication and learning.

You Don't Have to Be a Large Organization to Have Great Policies and Procedures

Every time a discussion on policy and procedure management arises, there are always people in the room who think it applies to large enterprises only — and definitely not to them yet. Often, information and resources neglect the same needs for smaller organizations, but just because the organization is smaller to mid-size, doesn’t mean a policy and procedure management structure isn’t just as important… READ MORE

Addressing Challenges in Policy and Procedure Management

We’ve all sat in meetings, and more meetings, trying to hash out policy guidelines. It takes time. It takes multiple meetings. It takes dealing with different people from diverse areas both inside and outside the organization.

Policy and Procedure Management: You're Only as Compliant as Your Employees

Policies are put in place to ensure everyone is on the same page about their jobs, from how to take vacation and sick days to how to use equipment safely. Some policies can be seen as flexible, whereas other policies need to be upheld in order for companies to be compliant with local, state or federal laws. When distributing policies, it’s important to recognize which policy is which, because asking every employee to sign off on every single procedure is counterproductive… READ MORE

Policy and Procedure Changes: Engaging Your Employees
